Temperate trains in the desert???

Helmann · Post by **Helmann** » 01 Nov 2005 05:01

Is it possible to use the temperate trains in the desert setting?
If so, how?
If not is it possible to make a patch that does this?

Yes.
Create a GRF file that does the job.

... assuming OTTD has support for at least action 0 feature 00 prop 06. I think action 7 variable 83 is required too.

Just another way of saying 'f*** off newbie'

I've just checked. All that you've mentionned is supported.

Or simpler - make a switchable patch of train_cmd.c (or other file) from the source, that is available.

Or you could get that file...
It contains a grf that convert ALL trains and wagons to Temperate and Desert ones.

I know it is stupid to do so, and prone to strange behaviour.
But it is a start for you to know how to code Grf, which is the only EASY way to do what you want. AS Dalestan suggested, get yourself the newgrf documentation, find out what train you want to convert PRECISELY, change it and enjoy

It is not THAT bad to learn.

Well, I thought I was in the TTDP section, where a question like that nearly requires malice. (ref: Hanlon's Razor)

I probably should have deleted the post, but instead I decided to remove the TTDPatch related info (newindustries and newcargos comments), and replace it with OTTD-related-info.

I just tested a different method:

Start a new game with the subtropical climate.
Then press 'Ctrl-C' and switch to the temperate climate.
Save the game.
Quit the game and browse to the savegame folder.
Change the filename extension from *.sav to *.scn .
Now start OpenTTD and load the scenario (you made a scenario from your savegame) using the 'Create Scenario' option from the main menu.
Now save that scenario.
Go back to the main menu and choose 'Play scenario' and open your newly made scenario.
Because the game is still temperate (with snow as dessert) use 'Ctrl-C' to switch to the subtropical climate.
Tadaaaaa now you can play with the temperate trains in the subtropical climate.

Note: This only works with DBset(xl)w.grf using version 0.4.0.1. And then possibly other sets as well, but you can always try. Sorry about the wrong information before (for the second time

)

Not so difficult as the other solutions

Robin

Edit1: It is playable with DBsetxlw.grf
Edit2: It is playable with DBsetxlw.grf, but only with version 0.4.0.1

rats it would be even easier if ttd alter could read the open tdd exe

Maybe easier for you, but it would need to be updated for every release (and nightly if it was compatible with that), as well as for each OS, blah blah blah... not easy for the programmer.
